simply want to switch on and get going. Cisco ISP Essentials

the major ISP backbones of the world to help new network engineers
gain understanding of the power of Cisco IOS Software and the
richness of features available specifically for them. Cisco ISP
Essentials also provides a detailed technical reference for the
expert ISP engineer, with descriptions of the various knobs and
special features that have been specifically designed for ISPs. The
configuration examples and diagrams describe many scenarios,
ranging from good operational practices to network security.
Finally a whole appendix is dedicated to using the best principles
to cover the configuration detail of each router in a small ISP
Point of Presence.
